Story Review - The Most Beautiful Child

The story "The Most Beautiful Child" took place in heaven, Goddess Lakshmi's abode. Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and fortune told her owl to take her necklace and place it on the most beautiful child. The owl searched for the most beautiful child in heaven and Earth. According to me, the most beautiful child is a child who is never a bully. To me, such a kind child is the most beautiful child. The owl peered through every nook and corner in heaven and Earth. At last, she found one. She is simple. Even if the owl would have visited other places like Mars, Titan, Andromeda Galaxy, Mercury, Europa, Sun and Ceres; she still wouldn't have found the most beautiful child. Because, the lucky child who got the necklace was with her only and that was her own owlet. The author of the story, Debjani Chatterji's purpose to write this story is to tell people that every mother sees her own child as beautiful. I learnt the same from this story. To every mother's eyes, her own child is the most beautiful. I liked the way how the story ended because it was very cute. And, yes of-course, 

I am the most beautiful child for my mother.  

Story Review And Character Sketch - The Worthy Successor

I read a story named 'The Worthy Successor' from Cambridge Express Literature Reader Book 3 authored by Cheryl Rao. The story is about a priest who wanted a new priest for the temple in a hill top, that he was taking care of. The priest wanted a new priest because he was old. While he was dying, he asked Gopan, the care taker of the temple to find a new priest. He said to Gopan while dying to make sure that he appoints only a human being as the next priest. By hearing this, Gopan was surprised and confused. On the interview day, Gopan was not happy with many people that came for the role of priest. At last, in the evening, a young man with lots of wounds in his body came. When Gopan asked him, "What happened?", the young man said that he has been busy helping people reach the hill top. Gopan knew that this young man was the worthy successor. 

I like this young man because be believes in helping others even if it is a difficult task for him. He gives importance to other's welfare. He feels so much compassion for people, so he clears up all the thorns in the path to the hill top and helps others reach there. So, he gets delayed. He deeply cares about other's well being and in helping others.
